Dr. David S. Rowe is a researcher and educator working in immunology, cancer, and HIV/AIDS. A graduate of Harvard University Medical School, his principal research was conducted at NIH and UCLA.
Together with David S. Rowe, Dr. Fahey discovered IgD in 1964[1], which has had implications in research on multiple sclerosis, AIDS and other immunologic diseases.
Dr. Fahey was head and principal investigator on the NIH Program Project for Immune Functions and Cancer in the 1960's. In 1971 he founded the Immunology department at UCLA[1] where he assembled a team that studied the immune system, which led to the discovery of AIDS at UCLA in 1981.[2] Dr. Fahey led the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Immunology and Disease (CIRID) through the 1980's and 1990's.
Dr. Fahey was one of the founders and became the first president of The Clinical Immunology Society in 1986.[3] He worked with the WHO as Advisor for Immunology for 30 years between 1964 and 1994, and he was a member of the Advisory Council of the NIAID and the US-Japan Cooperative Program on AIDS in the 1990's. Dr. Fahey worked extensively with international researchers, especially in India, China, and Japan.
Dr. Fahey has authored or co-authored more than 400 scientifically noteworthy articles and books[4][5] on subjects relating to immunology, cancer, and HIV/AIDS.
